Sunan Ibn Majah 2810 — Weapons
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْسٌ عَرَبِيَّةٌ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا بِيَدِهِ قَوْسٌ فَارِسِيَّةٌ ، فَقَالَ :" مَا هَذِهِ ؟ أَلْقِهَا ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ وَأَشْبَاهِهَا وَرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَزِيدُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ بِهِمَا فِي الدِّينِ ، وَيُمَكِّنُ لَكُمْ فِي الْبِلَادِ " .
´It was narrated that ‘Ali said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had an Arabian bow in his hand, and he saw a man who had a Persian bow in his hand. He said: ‘What is this? Throw it away. You should use this and others like it, and Qana* spears. Perhaps Allah will support His religion thereby and enable you to conquer lands.’”
